Cheaters Part 3

Some people say it's best to stay together for the children. Give me a break. When someone is cheating, many times the children are fully aware and hurt as much as the non-cheating parent. Children experience trauma and can actually black out memories. My dad and mother were married for 50 plus years, and yes he had his share of women. Many times I just wanted him to go away and never return. There were seven of us, so my mom, hung in there. But trust me, we all wanted to have peace and I desperately wanted my mom to be happy.

So those of you who are cheating, think about how your behavior affects your children, if you have children. Think of how those children are ashamed, sad and hurt because their mother or daddy is hurt. Think of how your actions will affect their lives as adults - later in life. You know, the Bible says, "You reap what you sow". So don't sow bad seeds for your children to possibly reap one day.

LOVE WHILE YOU CAN!!

Don't be too busy that you miss out on love. You know - you're doing this, running here, and taking care of that. Before you know it, you are a certain age and friendless. Wow what a rude awakening. I was listening to a motivational tape the other day and the speaker said, "Sure you should go after a better life for yourself and family. You should pursue the finer things in life, but not at the expense of your relationships, be it family, wife, friends, or significant other." So you see my friends-there will always be a challenge on how to distribute your time. So chose wisely.

If you are in sales, plug in family appointment times in your calender, PDA or whatever planning tool you use. Take your wife or hubby on a date. Skip a weekend and take a short trip. Take time to love. There are many people in the hospital, in hospice, in the WAR, in jail, who just wished that had spent more time, or could spend some time right now loving and nurturing those relationships. So - LOVE WHILE YOU CAN and HAVE FUN DOING IT!
